Chennai, February 8: Tamil Nadu is expected to experience a gradual increase in daytime temperatures in the coming days. The regional meteorological department has forecasted that temperatures could rise by 2 degrees Celsius above normal levels until February 11.
The weather in the state and neighboring Puducherry is anticipated to remain mostly dry. There is no significant chance of rainfall for at least the next week.
According to officials, the current weather pattern indicates stable and dry atmospheric conditions, leading to a consistent rise in maximum temperatures. While the days may feel warmer than usual, several districts are likely to experience morning fog.
An advisory has been issued by the department, predicting light fog in the early hours across at least nine districts. This includes the Nilgiris hill district and interior areas like Dindigul, Salem, Erode, and Krishnagiri. Fog is also expected in Dharmapuri, Tirupattur, Vellore, and Ranipet districts.
Reduced visibility in the mornings may pose challenges for motorists and travelers, particularly on highways and rural roads. Meanwhile, Chennai is expected to have partially cloudy skies over the next few days. Light fog is likely in the early hours, with the weather becoming hotter and more humid as the day progresses.
Reports indicate that there will be little to no rainfall in the city and most parts of the state during this period. Meteorologists have noted that the lack of active weather systems, such as low-pressure areas or cyclonic circulation, is resulting in dry continental winds. This is leading to fewer clouds and reduced rainfall, while daytime temperatures steadily rise.
Children, the elderly, and those working outdoors are advised to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours. Drivers are also urged to exercise caution during foggy mornings to prevent accidents.
With dry weather persisting and temperatures gradually rising, Tamil Nadu is likely to experience typical late-winter warmth, signaling a transition to pre-summer conditions in the coming days.
